New Tesla Motors Blog post about a couple of possibly record-holding owners

Yes, I am the kid standing just to the rear of the driver side door in that black-and-white photo of my fathers 1959 Porsche 356A coupe shown in the Tesla blog post by Hamish.

I also owned a 1959 Porsche 356A coupe almost exactly like my fathers car. I bought mine in 2005 and sold it in 2013 so I could buy my wife a Model S. In the 8 years I owned my Porsche it doubled in value and paid for the Tesla; that was the only way I could afford to buy a Model S! Here is a photo of the Porsche I sold, which is a recreation of the 1959 photo of my fathers car.

In that photo (above) my wife is "sitting in" for my sister, my mom and dad and I are in the same positions as the 1959 photo (and my mom is wearing the same jacket in both photos). Here is the 1959 photo for comparison.

And here is my wife and I with our Model S in front of our house.
